SightGain provides a Threat Exposure Management platform that works in conjunction with Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) tools to assess cybersecurity readiness. The platform evaluates how well security teams, processes, and technology respond to threats in production environments by providing empirical performance data rather than assumptions. The company's approach focuses on measuring actual defensive capabilities by testing how analysts and teams respond to relevant threats on production equipment. SightGain identifies capability gaps between Security Operations Centers (SOCs) and the current threat landscape, providing performance metrics that inform business risk levels. The platform measures cybersecurity technology and personnel return on investment based on actual performance and costs. SightGain's methodology applies an operational mindset to identify gaps in technology, process, and people. The company has worked with government agencies including the Department of Justice's Joint Security Operations Center, where they operationalized security validation capabilities and created training exercises using BAS tools to test defenders against real multilevel attack sequences on live networks. The company was founded by Christian Sorensen, a former Air Force leader with experience at USCYBERCOM and the Pentagon, where he helped architect the Cyber Mission Forces. SightGain won the third annual DataTribe Challenge in 2020 and serves both federal and commercial clients seeking to understand their true cybersecurity preparedness through data-driven assessment.
